Free CATIA V5 Tutorial #8 - Rebuild a car Audi R8

[pravidhineupane]

I am following the tutorial and I want it to change along with its length. I am also doing top down assembly and I want the shell to change with length , width and height of skeleton so that I dont have to go back and drag curve everytime.

Please tell me if there is easier way to make it parametric.

@pravidhineupane it is actually parametric, but you don't need to enter coordinates to define curves. This tutorial uses top-down approach; we first build a master model to describe the whole shape, then split it into different components.

[pravidhineupane]

Can you tell me how do I make this parametric?

[dicksham]

@pravidhineupane why do you need this to be parametric? this model is always editable, you can modify the curves by dragging anytime. is it more direct than editing parameters?

why not use AST?

iam newly studied can i draw like u

Hey,

im trying you follow your tutorial

but im stuck on

8-B (page A-10)

This part =>

•Mirror the curve

•Create a 3d spline(linking 3 endpoints)

•Create another 3d spline

@BigDaddy281

switch workbench to "Generative shape design", then you can see "symmetry". use this command to mirror the curve

Very neat-o :)

[dicksham]

Use module "freestyle" to quickly create a 3d wireframe model (with all key control curves); then use the module "generative shape design" to do the rest. Besides, the model is in 1:1. i used 4 dxf as the background. Since dxf is a vector format, which is easy to magnify. For this big model, don't use pixel formats (jpg).
